Russia’s Foreign Ministry published a statement requesting that Belarus release Russian citizens detained in Minsk. More than 600 demonstrators were arrested during clashes between the police and those demonstrating against the recent presidential election results. Most of them, including eight Russian nationals, were sentenced to short-term imprisonment (up to 15 days). Opposition leaders, including several former presidential candidates, have been criminally charged with “organizing mass disorders.” The Justice Minister for Belarus stated that the liquidation (i.e., prohibition) of opposition parties is being considered.
